Going through a roll of cents I found this IHC and noticed that it is much thicker than other IHCs. What could cause this? It does weigh more than my other IHCs. Thanks for your response.

Copper nickel IHC (1859-1864)weigh 4.67 grams compared to bronze IHC (1864-1909) which weigh 3.11 grams. Copper nickel IHC are also thicker.

I was perplexed and excited when I examined my first copper/nickel Indian cent. You are not alone!

Yes, I agree. Copper-nickel Indian Head cents are noticeably thicker.
